The Cradle of Ice

In James Rollins' "The Cradle of Ice," the perilous journey of a disparate fellowship continues, as the second installment of the New York Times bestselling Moonfall series plunges deeper into a world teetering on the brink of apocalypse. Comprising a soldier, a thief, a lost prince, and a young girl bound by an inescapable destiny, this unlikely team has already endured profound trials, forging unbreakable alliances while battling escalating enmities. Relentlessly hunted by hostile forces determined to prevent them from uncovering a truth that could either save or shatter their reality, their path has been paved with blood, loss, and heartbreak. Now, with time rapidly running out, the fellowship must make a crucial, dangerous split. One faction ventures into a vast, unforgiving expanse of ice, while the others seek answers within the fabled capital city of their world—a place previously known only through ancient stories. As armies clash around them, only the full, unvarnished truth can avert the coming disaster and offer humanity a sliver of hope.
